Hello from cold London (-5). I like fountain pens, but also have a Yard o Led ballpoint and one from Pelikan. My fountain pens (all broad nibs) are Grand Victorian by Yard-o-Led which is a great pen, albeit have nib replaced, Conway Stewart Churchill Poppy Edition, Conway Stewart Rudyard Kipling, Visconti Bronze oversize Homo Sapiens, Visconti Dali and a bright orange Visconti. I am just about to buy a Onoto Shakespeare. I use Diamine ink :- Royal blue, crimson, green, purple and red.

 

So the collection is quite small and I have only started in the last four years. Any feedback or recommendations are welcome. After the Onoto I am thinking of a Sailor pen with one of their very broad nibs.

Come along to the https://bierschenke.co.uk/ 12.00, down stairs. I don't know how many will be there, due to the prevailing weather, but there are usually 12-18 enthusiasts.

 

They should be able to give you a wide range of views on pens, both ancient and modern plus inks. Plus the chance to see and use them.

Hello and welcome to FPN, from Cape Town, South Africa.

To sit at one's table on a sunny morning, with four clear hours of uninterruptible security, plenty of nice white paper, and a [fountain] pen - that is true happiness!


- Winston Churchill

Thanks for the replies. Anyone have any views on the Onoto Shakespeare? This is next intended purchase and I will be going for a broad nib with a heavier barrel.

 

Thanks
